Triton, the largest moon of Neptune, is the seventh largest moon in the solar-system. It has an atmosphere consisting primarily of nitrogen. It had warmed slightly since the previous observations, so our paper in the scientific journal Nature was entitled “Global Warming on Triton.”

Refereed Papers

• Global Warming on Triton (Elliot et al., Nature 393, 765-767, 25 June 1998)
• More Evidence for Distortion and Increasing Pressure in Triton’s Atmosphere (Elliot et al., Icarus 148, 347-369, 2000)

Abstracts

• Further Evidence for Increasing Pressure and a Non-spherical Shape in Triton’s Atmosphere (Person et al., B.A.A.S. 32, No. 3, 1082, October 2000)
• Probing small bodies in the outer solar system with stellar occultations (Person et al., European Planetary Science Conference 2008, Münster)
